Hey, @NJPigBard! Thanks so much for coming out and hanging with us at TrollCon East, we had a blast. To answer your question, we hope to have them ready by the end of March, but if it is before that, you will see them on our TLG Storefront.

Now that all the pre-orders of the Castle Keepers guide have shipped...any idea when the 'Castle & Crusades Complete PREORDER' will ship? I have been anxiously awaiting this as I've been stuck with the pdfs for now

@Sedrik -- I will find out for sure what's going on with the preorders on complete set tomorrow and post back here, but I think it's a matter of a very short time before that is taken off preorder and goes to ahipping. there are some issues to be settled, but I'll find out from Steve and either he or myself will post back her ASAP. thanks, tim

I think part of the delay is that Steve is printing the PHB and M&T in the same matte style as the CKG in order to insure the set of books all match. That will be a fine looking set, my friends. I am another one who waited on ordering the CKG when I found out about this set. I may be the only fan out here who doesn't even have the pdf yet! lol. Patience Grasshopper.

Sedrik,

The problem on the Complete's are two fold, getting the boxes done (the slip sleeve) and as piperdog said, getting the covers lined up. This last won't take a day or so, as soon as those slip sleeves are ready to go. In theory that is today (the 18th) So I anticipate them shipping out mid week next week.

Thanks for the continued patience!
Steve

So if I understand it, the CKG itself is already shipping to retailers? And the Complete set should ship to retailers next week sometime? I am waiting for my favorite online store to get it before I order.

Tim et al. What is the typical wait for shipping to Canada. Been 6 weeks now. I asked Steve if a tracking number was available so at least I'd know where the CKG is, but no reply (to the orders@.... address).

@LordSeurek -- I'm not sure why it is taking so long. My apologies...I know you live way up in Canada, so it may take a while but shouldn't take forever. Let me see what I can find out and I'll let you know ASAP.

A is for Aihrde, Aenochia? for the "Umbrage Saga"
DB for Dirty Bowbie's Inn (though these are labeled as Haunted Highlands?)
I is for Inzae?

A is indeed for Aihrde, the in-sequence modules that follow from Rising Knight and will ultimately end up with Aufstrag and Coburg the undying down the road.

DB is Dirty Bowbe, because that's not just the name of the Inn in the mods, it's author Casey Christofferson's character/gamer id

What about B, C, D, S, U?

If they are by location, it seems the C are in the Darkenfold Forest, but a couple of modules set there are not in the C series.

C was orginally for "conversion" I believe, as in converted from earlier d20 mods I believe, but I believe the designation has principally been for the 2 Darkenfold mods

D = Davis written
S = Steve written (unless I'm mistaken, and in these cases stand-alones that aren't part of a series - i.e. S2 is compilation of Dwarven Glory adventures not having any connection to S3, the update of Malady of Kings that's in Aihrde, but is unrelated to the A series or C mods)

@sedrik -- we are not in the office today, but Mark was in and the Completes should start shipping Monday. If your order is being shipped, it should be bundled together. When we get back in the shop, we will double check for you, but if you get it before then, post here, okay? Thanks, Tim

Just to be clear, the Complete set will all be the new matte finish, correct? I hope so, because that would be fantastic. Do we have any idea when the CKG as well as the Complete set will find it's way to the game stores?

Very glad to have it, although the pages in the book are warped, BAD..... Also, the text is a little off. Very clear and sorta bold in the inside part of the page (close to the bind), but its gets very light as in the first column (closer to the edge of the book). No worries, it can be read. Maybe I'll stick heavy books on top of it to try and get the warp out of the pages

I have been looking at my favorite store www.superherogameland.com, but also frpgames.com, trollandtoad.com, and others that I can't think of off the top of my head and no one is carrying the CKG yet. Superherogameland has listed the CKG (as well as the slipcase set), as well as M&T of Aihrde hardcover and Dark Journey, listing them all as preorder status, so I know it's a matter of time before they get them in. That store is crazy in it's steep discounts, usually a standard 30% of retail, sometimes more. I usually can't find it cheaper anywhere else on the planet, and they ship fast, as well as free shipping on orders over 125 bucks.

Tim my Man! How goes the progress toward getting this elusive slipcase set out to my stores? I keep on checkin'. My fave online store (www.superherogameland.com) has the slipcase set at least appearing now on the site, with a pricetag of $49 bucks, which is a steal fellas.
